Spent a long time in art schools after high school trying to get my feet wet all the while sharpening my drawing skills and expanding my imagination. I even had a stint as a graphic artist doing layouts for a magazine and working with vectors, In the end it didn't work out and had a strain of oddness until I was finally given the opportunity to go on scholarship to The School of the Art Institute of Chicago for animation training. I put a lot of energy into concerning myself with the nature of animation. It's been a pretty rough road but I think my experience shows through in my work. I don't regret persuing animation for personal reasons not just for profit.
